The initial expense for materials is practically nothing, seeing as it starts with just card and paper mache (flour, water, newspaper). If you're happy with the outcome at that stage then you can buy some resin to coat it in and make it solid. If it's just the single piece that you're making then you can then buy paint, and an elastic strap and some kind of covering for the eye holes and you're done.
If you're wanting to make a cast of it, then you'll need supplies to buy mold making materials which can become expensive, but like I say for a single one-off item for yourself it is pretty cheap, although it can take a lot of time - especially the details. If it helps any, here is a link to the basic template I used for the lower half of the mask....  mask template https://flic.kr/p/bfGCTK and the filigree pattern:  filigree https://flic.kr/p/d1ZYay |

I must also ask what paints (brands, etc) you used, and what Paper you used for the Filigree

Paints used were just Automotive primer (grey - 2 coats), then Matt Black (again 2 coats), then Silver Leaf 'Rub n Buff'. The red was just brushed on Scarlet Acrylic paint, and where needed I used some watered down black paint to get into the recesses of the detail to make the filigree pattern stand out. The use of black first coat and the silver rub n buff means that you don't really need to do much of the blackwash as the silver mainly hits the high areas anyway. For the filigree pattern, I just printed it onto normal paper and PVA glued that onto some thin card (sorry I can't give specific weight or anything - it was just some freebie card from some display box at work). One the glue had dried the paper and card were cut together with the scalpel. (this is where patience is needed). I hope you do have a go at this, and show us what comes of it. Son Alexander used this method and did a video tutorial on it (he gives me a shout-out at the beginning "StewYZF750" - my rpf name) it shows all the details if you want to watch |

Thanks for all of the tips/ideas/help! I'll definitely check out that video and see if I can do it! It would save my $80 from buying it on Etsy anyways!

No probs mate. Like I say, the best part about it is that it costs practically nothing to give it a go (you don't need to buy anything unless you're happy with the cardboard and paper mache stage). Give it a go
